Huawei has confirmed today that Microsoft has approached them demanding royalty payments for its Android devices.
The company has coerced deals out of Samsung, HTC, Wistron, Quanta, Acer, Compal and General Dynamics Itronix, so far.
Victor Xu, CMO for Huawei Devices, has said "negotiations are in progress" for licensing:
We always respect the intellectual property of companies. But we have 65,000 patents worldwide too. We have enough to protect our interests. We are a very important stakeholder in Android.
